Treble Clef Tuesdays: “The Jungle Book”

Hey everyone. Welcome to Treble Clef Tuesdays, the day I talk about music on the blog. And by the way, if anyone has a better name that I can use to describe Tuesdays, I’m open to suggestions. It seems to fit well when you say it (go on, try it) and the Treble Clef (sometimes referred to as a “G Clef”) has been around for centuries, at least since the origins of the Gregorian Chant around the 9th and 10th centuries. My point in all of this is that it represents music, hence why I chose the name.

But enough of the musical history lesson. I’ll save that for next Tuesday, maybe. Originally I was going to talk about that in my first edition of Treble Clef Tuesdays. But as you can plainly see from the title of this post, I’ve changed that plan (Hey, I’m allowed to do that, right?).

And the reason for this is today, I watched the 1967 animated film The Jungle Book with a group of kids at work today. How cool is that in which I get paid for watching a movie, right? All I had to do was make sure that no one caused any trouble and to get a head count, which I really enjoyed doing since I love counting and numbers. That was it! Gotta love the children’s department of the library. 🙂

It was fun as I haven’t seen this movie in probably 20 years or more. And yet, I still remember many of the bouncy happy music scores that I heard while watching this when I was like 10 or 12. Have you ever noticed how well music sticks with you, even when you hear it when you are little? Even when you haven’t heard it for years and years, you never really forget how it sounds, especially if it’s a really catchy tune. I think my favorite song in the film is I Wanna Be Like You, with King Louie and his gang of monkeys.

Like I said, it was really fun to watch this again after so many years and a little bit uplifting to see all the little munchkins laughing and having a good time as I once did while watching it when I was their age. So it looks like I chalked up another positive memory for summer today and I can add this piece to the many others that have been shattered over the years. Thank you Jungle Book!

What movies do you all remember watching when you were little and what is it about them that helps you remember them?

The Reason For My Blog

My blog is about postcards. It is something that I am very passionate about and really enjoy doing. And I would like to share that passion with everyone who reads my blog. After being encouraged by others to write a blog about my passion, I decided to go for it. I am new at this. I am not an expert blogger and I will probably make a few mistakes along the way. And that is okay as that is how we learn and get better. My blog will also contain book reviews (reading is another passion of mine) as well as the SIA challenges that you've seen on here. In no way is my blog encouraging any sort of illegal activity, acts of violence, sexual material or any other forms of extreme content that would be grounds to have my blog shut down. I do welcome any and all comments that come my way and I will do my best to reply to all of them. Even critical comments are welcomed, but offensive or extremely harsh ones are not. Please keep that in mind.
